Fiddy, part of G-Unit, got people dancing with hits including PIMP and Candy Shop.

His set was at one point punctuated with the sound of gunshots.

Napoli footballer and Scotland international Billy Gilmour was spotted in the crowd on Friday evening.

Australian electro-pop act Confidence Man performed a 2000s dance music-inspired set on the King Tut’s stage.

The duo opened with Now U Do, and wore what appeared to be bridal-inspired outfits and performed a choreographed dance routine despite the heat.
